Baroclinic Zone Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 yes about 1/2 mile off RT 6 right at Saw Mill rd. There are lots for sale on flat ground, very tempted. Perfect weenie spot. Do it. I love driving through that area. Gains elevation pretty steadily heading over that ridgeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It has ORH airport at 970 feet. That's a miss too. Yeah it's too low..It has exactly 970 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 HM has big concerns about NNE this winter.

powderfreak Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 HM, on 10 September 2012 - 01:58 PM, said: Yeah being the most east will help out in an El Niño December. If we don't get a strong enough El Niño, suddenly years like 1951-52 and 1953-54 (not a true El Niño per MEI) start showing up...yikes. My other worry in terms of snow will be for the northern New England mountains. It could be another lackluster year for snowfal uh oh! I better move to CT before the start of this winter Still, lackluster year up north here will positively give me a higher snowfall total than if I was living at my family's camp in North Woodstock, CT. I have thought about going down there though for a big KU, but figure its similar to Blizz's climo and we'd just end up with a 14" KU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah it's too low..It has exactly 970 here It seems to be random in what direction the error is. But it definitely has some. Looks a little low for you, agreed. You're closer to 975-980 on USGS maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The weenie spot I tell you guys about near Rt 6 is 790, I have pics where they have 8 new while I had 2, size matters. Do it. I love driving through that area. Gains elevation pretty steadily heading over that ridgeline. It is awesome coming home from Providence during a cold rain, and then seeing the tranformation to snow along rte 6. Sometimes it turns back to sleet or crap snow over the ridge, and then back to snow going up the spine of the ridge I live on.When I lived in Stougton I'd get that transformation sometimes going back up there from Somerset. Rain/snow line many times just around Taunton going up rte. 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Not sure yet. Woodbury in Orange county looks nice as I'm having a few issues with Monroe. Also a few places in Rockland, which looks to be a serious snow hole. Just an apartment for me right now for weekdays. There is some nice elevation, but mostly state park type stuff - Ramapo Mountains, etc. Woodbury is in the 700 foot range, snowfall is similar to what you have at home.

Its the same when someone tells the mid-Atlantic folk they will do better than their SNE brethren. They take that and run with it. I'll still believe it when I see it. Although I could see you guys doing better than a spot like BTV, but its going to be hard to beat the mountain towns around the Greens in any winter.

CoastalWx Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yea not seeing what Scooter is talking about with the size stuff but Powderfreak is writing a war and peace novel, we will find out soon. I wonder how many people live in New England above 2.5K, not many I think. The back and forth stuff about elevation..putting it in avatars. It's not bad, just makes me laugh.

There are some issues with that area - political/ religious so to speak that affect taxes and other things that I need to research a bit more.

powderfreak Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I really can't think of anywhere that folks would live higher than 2.5K except in highly isolated cases. I know Bolton Valley has a little community in the 2,000-2,400ft range and I have several friends that live up there... but nothing quite up to 2.5K or higher. That's wayyyy up there.

Yeah I'm just biting on the troll posts, haha... I know I'm not the norm which is why it wouldn't surprise me if you guys beat a spot like BTV that relies solely on synoptic snowfall. I'm sure plenty of SNE spots have had bigger winters than BTV at points in the past. But that's the difference between averaging 80" (BTV) and like 125-130" here. In town we tend to run about 4 feet more than BTV in seasonal totals... like last year BTV was <40" and we were >80" (87"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I could see you guys doing better than a spot like BTV, but its going to be hard to beat the mountain towns around the Greens in any winter. Interior SNE at elevation will beat the valley locations of NNE about once every 3-4 years or so on average. We'd probably only beat your town at 800-850 feet about once per 15-20 years or so...the upslope areas get their fluff even if they are whiffing on synoptic snows, but the non-upslope areas can be left in the dust relatively easily. Years where ORH and nearby beat BTV are as follows: 2011-2012 2005-2006 2004-2005 2002-2003 1995-1996 1992-1993 1987-1988 1986-1987 1983-1984 1976-1977 1966-1967 1964-1965 1963-1964 1961-1962 1960-1961 (I can't believe how bad BTV did this year...they got less snow than M.A. folks) 1957-1958 1956-1957 1955-1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guesstimate it gets anywhere from 15-20 per year more than me and 10-15 more than NFoster.In Jan 2011 even with elevation not being an issue I measured 38 OTG at my house and 46 there. Perfect spot for the combo of elevation, coastals and left over OES, often times that little rise induces squalls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 People in the Rockies call that the valley. That's true but treeline in New England is about 4,000' where as it at 11,000' in the Colorado Rockies so it's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect spot for the combo of elevation, coastals and left over OES, often times that little rise induces squalls too. I don't think its possible that anywhere in RI or that close there gets 10-15" more than N Foster. That would be about a 70-75" average which is on par with the 1,000 foot hills just to my NW in Holden. They might retain snow a lot better than N Foster if they are elevated, but also somewhat protected as well. That can make it appear they average a lot more snow since when you drive by there, its always a lot more on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
